Michael was a terrific guide. Very...

Chulian_C, Oct 2017
Michael was a terrific guide. Very knowledgeable, professional and easy to get along with. He emailed us before the tour and when we asked questions about how to cross Checkpoint 300, parking, etc., he responded very quickly. We saw everything we wanted to see in Bethlehem and more. We would highly recommend Michael to anyone.
